Plate III, 



The Chamburo, an Interesting Relative of the Papaya. (Carica sp., 

 S. P. I. No. 52716.) 



The chamburo is indigenous in the Andes of northern South America and will probably be 

 sufficiently hardy to withstand the Avinters of southern California and southern Florida. 

 The fruit flesh is half an inch thick and is usually eaten, after being cooked, in the form of a 

 sweet conserve. (Photographed bv Wilson Popenoe, Banos, Tungurahua, Ecuador, March
